This song is way too awesome to not be represented here in some way.
This is intended to be a simplified version of Myles's Mars Hotel acoustic
attempted to adapt to the studio version). Probably a little rough, but
it'll get you through.
Chords:
C#5: x46600
B5: x24400
You should be able to handle the rest yourself.
[E] [C#5] [B5] [A]
I [E]saw her in an empty bar
The [C#5]smell of wine and cheap cigars
[B5]Trigger visions of her face [A]to this day
We [E]tried to dance for years to come
But [C#5]two can't lead and waltz as one
We [B5]loved and learned and learned to love
But [A]it was not enough
[A]Foolish pride got [F#m]in our way
[E] She could take my heart and [C#5]soul
She could take my hand to [B5]hold
But why'd she have to take ad[A]vantage [F#m]of me
[E] I tried to pay for all the [C#5]things
She could want or ever [B5]need
Don't make me pay for all the [A]past please
So [E]now we're living far apart
I [C#5]hope to God our paths don't cross
This [B5]may seem shallow..but her [A]beauty makes me weak
I [E]long to hold her once again
And [C#5]reconcile and then give in
To [B5]realize that later on we [A]made the same mistake
[A]Hold on to the [F#m]lessons you've learned
[E] She could take my heart and [C#5]soul
She could take my hand to [B5]hold
But why'd she have to take ad[A]vantage [F#m]of me
[E] I tried to pay for all the [C#5]things
She could want or ever [B5]need
Don't make me pay for all the [C#5]past
So much to [F#m]tow
Bogged [E]down with all the history to [F#m]hold
The [C#5]blame fell hard on [F#m]me
A[E]pologies were too short lived
She [F#m]never really could forgive mis[A]takes
[E] [C#5] [B5] [A] [F#]
[E] She could take my heart and [C#5]soul
She could take my hand to [B5]hold
But why'd she have to take ad[A]vantage [F#m]of me
[E] I tried to pay for all the [C#5]things
She could want or ever [B5]need
Don't make me pay for all the [A]past[F#m]
She [E]took my heart, she took my soul
She [C#5]took my fragile hand to hold
She [B5]took advantage all the time
I'll [A]take her back cause [F#m]her love makes me [E]blind
[C#5] [B5] [A]
And there you go. Not sure about those ending chords and a few of those
F#m chords may be something different, but if you play it like this it
sounds fine. Enjoy!
